Thank you for your post, but I prefer not to run Linux. I prefer to
actually be productive and capable of running the most popular applications
and games instead.

Thanks so much for your concern.

I want to be able to play audio files (wavs) out the audio output built

Creative Soundblaster card I have installed.

I can't find a simple way to do it.......anybody know of anything?

The only way I can imagine to get this working is in Linux.
Check http://www.ferventsoftware.com/
They have a live-CD called "Studio to go"
Booting your PC with this CD gives you a Linux system that doesn't
affect your existing ( probably Windows ) system.

In this Linux that is loaded with audio apllications there is a
program called Jack that is there to connect all running aplications'
in and outputs to the in and outputs available at all sound
devices found during system startup.

Studio to go finds the harddisks present in your pc.
Linux can play WAV and mp3 ( and many other formats ) from the Windows
harddisks or any other medium present.

For obvious reasons i have not x-posted this message to all the
Microsoft-groups like Jim Hubbard did. And should not !
